Prince Charles, Hitler And Ignorance
If the reported remark by Prince Charles on a visit to Canada, comparing the actions of President Putin to Hitler are true, then it speaks volumes not only about Prince Charles’ capacity to be a future monarch but also, the background to such a classic example of sheer ignorance. Let us see why.
For a start, the remark in a private conversation with Marianne Ferguson by Prince Charles on a visit to the Canadian Museum of Immigration, reportedly “And now Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler” speaks volumes about Prince Charles’ ignorance of history and current affairs, and demonstrates that the man who is first in line to the throne after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is shockingly shallow, gullible to the point of being mentally challenged, offensive, Russophobic and incompetent to hold the position of Head of State.
Firstly, it should be admitted that very few public figures are immune from making gaffes, given that they are in the spotlight 24 hours a day 7 days a week, are often tired, feeling ill or jet-lagged yet are expected to look and act like Superman, flashing smiles and being diplomatic. True enough, but no excuse.
Secondly, the remarks have not been officially confirmed or denied, but the “no comment” from the British part goes in line with their “no comment” that British Special Forces were being deployed in Libya, against UNSC 1970 and 1973 (2011), when it is now evident that they were.
Thirdly, the reaction from the British political elite, namely Prime Minister David Cameron, Labour leader Ed Milliband and Liberal Democrat Leader and Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, that the Prince is entitled to his private opinions and only reflects what the public in general is feeling, underlines that something is seriously wrong in Britain. Probably also within its NATO allies.
It is quite clear that not one of them is aware of the facts in Ukraine, nor indeed do they have any idea of how loathed Hitler is in Russia. If they are aware, and one suspects that some of them, or the lobbies pulling their strings, might be then we are speaking of something far more sinister, which places in question whether the British public have any idea what they vote for, or what their Establishment represents.
Just as a two-syllable title, boy-meets-girl and good-over-evil themes are the three recipes for a successful movie, creating the image of an eternal foe, a “them” to justify the notion of “us”, rather like a soccer match in which the Reds are the arch-enemies of the Blues, is a blueprint for implementing political control.
